GRANTS Monument.

Some eight months ago Mr.. Dorsheimer,
editor of the New York Star stated that he
had embarked in the enterprise of raising a
$3.50 900 monument to the memory of Grant.
To date So, 122 SS has been collected leaving
only paltry balance of $244, .l2 to be
raised.
The bright spicy character of the StDr
indicates that Mr.. Dorsheimer is a much
better newspaper man than monument
builder.
1t looks as though when the Star Editor
assumed the contract to raise a $3.50, 600
asm for notoriety got away with his judg-
ment
If the files Of the No. Star for the two
years preceding Gen. Grants death be
taken as authority on Gen. Grants record it
puzzles us to understand just why the pub
lie should be expected to respond to the
monument demand and if the files of the
Star be not authority on Gen. Grants
record then as penance the injustice
does an innocent man the Star should draw
upon its own surplus to the modest OK tent

On The Wheel.

The Wilmington Wheel Club held their
regular monthly meeting last Thursday eve
ming. 1t was decided to hold a series of club
racing on Thanksgiving afternoon. The
place for holding same has not yet been de-
termiued. There will be a two-mile cham
pionship race between Harlow Curtis, of
Newark, Del, and John Bertolette of this
city. The medal has been held by Mr.. Cur
tis for some time. Besides this there vii
be Il series of hardicap races between the
members, and ve-mle championship race.
Should nothing prevent there will be
great interest manifested in tho above races.
Messrs Snyder and Wilhelm made an at
tempt to break the record on Lancaster pike

A Strange Proposition.

Russia's proposition that Eugland sacrifice
her position at Gibraltar for the general
commercial good of Europe has caused a
broad smile to break over the face of
Europe. This is only sequel to previous
proposition, supposed to be inspired from
similar direction that England also give up
control of the Sucz Canal in a similar
philanthropic spirit But now England
holds both ends of the Mediterranean Sea
and it is very unlikely that she will deliver
up such valuable position upon the request
of any nationality Or any group of national
tiles.
If Europe wishes that England give up
Gibraltar, Malta, and her positions at Suez,
Europe must fight for it with her fleets and
cannon.
But the proposition is entirely preposter-
Gus. There could be no unanmity in
Europe upon the question, either before its
proposed execution nor after. Eug'sh states
men mag not have the credit Of any extra
ordinary astuteness but undoubtedly they
arc furnished with brains sufficient to form
combinations upon the European card table
to defeat in course every alliance of such
nature Under any circumstance there is
to much Of local opposition and traditional
opposition among the powers to olerate the
existence long Of an anti English cabal.
Suffice it to say that the propositions re-
ferred to are made upon the basis of the
Franco Russian alliance, which, in itself is
purely selfish ohe. Germany, Italy aud
Austria would always be opposed and two
of those natious at least need the maritime
preponde; auce of England, which it must
be added in parenthesis, is Englamd's only
claim to weight in the councils of Europe in
order that their own integrity as indePend-
ent nations may exist in perpetuity.
AS said before it would be question of
powder and shot or purse-strings. Of the
last England has the longest and would hold
out against any European alliance until such
t time as her diplomacy might make rup'
r ture among her opponents.

At fh Head of Delaware Bay.

The Secretary of the State Board of Health
of Pennsylvania DR.. Benjamin Lee has sent
communication to the Philadelphia Board
of Health calling attention to the inadequacy
of the quarantine provisions of the port of
Philadelphia in the event of the arrival of
cholera stricken vessel like the one which
recently arrived in New York harbor.
He calls attention to the fact tnat the
New York quarantine provisions are super
ior to those of Philadelphia, ami suggests
the possible consequences if the Alesia had
assembled the Delaware River TO Chester in
stead of arriving at Sandy Hook
He says that the persistence Of the cholera
pest along the shores Of the Mediterranean
for so long period, now measured by years
and its increasing, malignity at certain points
at the present time make this most urgent
| question only emphasized by the actual
transportation of the disease across the At
lantic to neighboring port. Our turn
may come next and very soon cholera as nc
respecter of seasons and one cannot rely
upon the frost to confer immunity from iti
invasion as we may in the case of yellow
fever it is wiser to admit this fact,at once.anC
take the necessary steps to keep it at saf
distance, rather than to await until it ha
gained foothold and then attempt the des
perate work of its expulsion. The Stat
Board of Health has always advocated
quarantine station at the head of Delawar
Bay, instead of fifty miles up the river, th
side of the thckly populated cities of Wi
mington and Chester.

A Street Danger.

The slight stone curbing, an inch or two
high usually, surrounding the CRATES, man
holes and coal holes along the street pave
ment are very often the cause Of possibly
dangerous accidents to pedestrians. Only
the other day within an hour two passersby
were trpped by one of these curbstones in
front of large store on Market street, and
one Of the victims was only saved by his
own agility from shooting headlong into a
large plate glass window.
Just such an accident through the same cause
happened few weeks ago when one Of our
well-known citizens got tripped up and was
thrown through store window, had an arm
broken, and was badly cut about the face
and hands. He went about town several
days with his arm in sling. The writer
has been trpped up more than once when
passing around G. F. Rudolph's store, Fourth
and Market streets.
1t is the duty of the Street Commission
ers to see that the street pavement is per.

The Fair.

DUPONT Post No. G. A. R, have completed
all of their arrangements for the Fair at the
rink and the formal opening on last Thurs
day night was most flattering to the man
agement
In connection with very elaborate dis
play of our merchants and manufacturers
wares interesting musical entertainments
are given every evening.
The Fair will be found most delightful
retreat for an evenings entertainment. The
first booth to the right upon entering is oc-
cupied by T. B. Smith, who has his space
stocked with an indesoribable variety OF
tempting candies and confectionery. Mr..
Smith has modern appliances foF renewing
his stock which are at times considerably
strained to meet the demands of the occa:
sion.
The Domestic Sewing Machine Company
occupy booths numbers 8 and and theil
exhibits fully justify the high standard Of
excellence claimed and maintained for the
"Domestic Sewing Machine"
Handsome and elaborate samples of the
work of this machine are on exhibition iC

There is an almost absolute absence o
noise in the working of this machine ant

Rattlesnake e Run.

The Board of Health has instituted a good
piece of work in taking action upon the
Rattlesuake run nuisance. Before the loca
ton Of the b. & o. passenger station at Du
Pont street and Delaware avenue the nui-
sance was bad enough but since the addition
of the mass Of buildings including the Pass
enger Station and Offices the cause Of trouble
has been necessarily largely augmented.
At present the Company cannot direct its
drains with the sewer, or run, as a municip
al law with fine of 81, 900 prevents them. 1t
is understood that the Street and Sewer
Commission intends building an intercepting
sewer from the mouth of Rattlesnaks run to
the head Of the south race. AT that point it is
proposed to ran the drain under the race and
into the river below that point from which
the drinking water is taken.
Now this idea is well enough as far as it
goes. But it is wrong to have the drain
water enter the Braudywine even that far vi
the river. Its mouth should be placed moi
farther up than tidal water at least, in othel
v words below LEAFS mills.
We understand that the ultimate inten
ton of the Street Commission is to do some
thing like this. But why not do what i
right now. the commission has euougl
money in hand. Then why not employ it il
this necessary way.

A Disgrace to the City.

1t is disgrace to the city that band of
professional prizo-hghters should be seen
loafing about our streets. These men are
mostly well-known Philadelphia and New
York ''bruisers."
They appear to look upon this city as
new annex to the prize-ring region. Thdy are
followed in and out of saloons by number
ofour DOrst "Casino Theatre" toughs, who
although dressed in decent broadcloth are
none the less a repulsive, obnoxious and
harmful fraternity.
These pugilists in coming here and .prac-
ticing their profession in Wilmington, are
doing something new. They appear how
ever to think them, elves quite at homf
How can this be- Do the authorities sup
pose that the decent citizens Of this city,
their wives aud daughters will tolerate hav-
ing to meet these saloon denizens uISn the
street and leave themselves subject to their
rmpudent ogling aud providing Is tlls city
to be turned into purlieu for PLiladel-
phia' smost vicious social off securing.
We were under the impression, since the
recent p,izs fl sht at the Wilmington and
Northern pier that this business is illegal in
Delaware Yet the owners Of the Casino had
the brazenness the other evening to parade a
wagon and transparency, with tolling bell,
ouncing that fight would come off at
on this evening and following

Now there is no doubt that it is l.
easy for the police to ascertain that

money received at these encounters. And
if gate money is received that is all that is
necessary to prove that these are prize-fghts
within the provision of the code.
There is no moralsdoubt but that the law
is broken, ard it is the duty of the police to
bring the law breakers to justice.
We should like that Judge Cummins who
appears on several occasions to have initiated
good reforms straight from his seat Of jus
tice to ask the police whether they have at
tempted to ascertain anything in regard to
what is going on at these pugilistic encoun-
ters at the Casino.
Under any circumstances there is 20 doubt
that the decent citizens of Wilmington con-

streets as not tending to elevate the good

DYspepsia.

As Indigestion is one of the grave inflec-
tions of the present day we reproduce an ar
ticle from the Nedtca Mems extolling the
virtues of the custom of introducing liquids
into the stomach prior to eating. 1t says;
In the morning the stomach contains a
considerable quantity of mucus spread over
and adherent to its walls If food enters at
this time, the tenacious mucus will interfere
to some extent with the direct contact be-
tween the food .and the stomach necessary
to provoke the secretion of gastric juices.
A glass of water, taken before breakfast,
passes through the stomach into the small
intestines in a continuous and uninterrupted
flow. 1t partly distends the stomach,
stretching, and to some extent obliterating,
the ruga; it thins and washes out most Of
| the tenacious mucus it increases tbs full
nuss.sss capillaries of the stomach, di-
ness of nAHus-warm, and indirectly
rectly if the water is .. -
in reactionary way if it is cold it causes
peristalsis of the alimentary tract, wakes it
up ESQ to speak,, and gives it a morning ex-
ercise and washing. Care must be taken
not to give cold water when the circulation,
either local or general, is so feeble as to
make reaction improbable. We should not
risk in advanced age, nor in the feeble,
whether old OF young, nor should it be given
in local troubles, like chronic gastric ca
tarrh. In these cases H. is bestto give warm
or hot water. The addition of salt is very
beneficial Such time-honored custom as
drinking soup at the beginning Of a meal
could only have been so persistently adhered
to because of II having been found by ex-
perience to be the most appropriate time.
1t does exactly what warm OF hot water,
with the addition of salt, does, and more, in
that it is nutritive and excites the flow of
| gastric Juice -
